Accountability independent practical reasoners

While the hallmark of the autonomous person is self-creation through choicemaking, that of the independent practical reasoner is accountability — for conclusions and their practical consequences. This accountability follows from the fact that the individual evaluates the reasons for such conclusions and is prepared to give an account of them to others to answer for them and their practical consequences. The individual acts she recognizes herself, rather than her circumstances, as the cause of her actions, and therefore can be held responsible for them. Accountability implies there are others to be accountable to in acting as well as in reasoning the individual is always embedded in a network of relationships with others. 

Theoretically, 8/lp in the resonant wavelength shift scheme is independent of resonance shape or resonant bandwidth, and should be determined merely by instrument resolution, typically less than 10 pm. However, in reality, noise can perturb resonance spectra such that accurate determination of resonant wavelength shift becomes difficult for a broad resonance curve. To enhance accuracy in detecting wavelength shift, narrower resonance is required. This is equivalent to obtaining higher-g resonance behavior. To take into account noise-included detectability of 8/lp, 8/lp can be simply described as a fraction (p) of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) bandwidth of resonance, A7.. WnM. In this fashion, optical detection limit becomes pA/.. WnMAS or p/-vl(QS). In practice, p can be chosen as a reasonable value of 0.1. In the intensity variation scheme, 87 is determined by noise from environment and photodetectors. It can reach as low as several nanowatts with care.
